Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your La Pobla de Lillet vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to La Pobla de Lillet a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
